I started paying into Social Security when I was 10, have worked steadily since I was 15, and retired at 75 with reasonable savings and SS. I, like so many others, payed into and earned this modest retirement. Send Musk to Mars and Trump to jail.

Can’t overstate just how devastating tonight’s election result in Texas is for the GOP.
Emotionally - Massive blow to morale losing a Trump +17 seat by 15.
Monetarily - Outspent Ds big and still lost big
Strategically - Newly-rigged House maps now looking flimsy and #TXSen now firmly on the map

I just got tear gassed along with thousands of union members, many of whom had their families with them. Federal agents at the ICE facility tear gassed children. We must abolish ICE, DHS, and we must have prosecutions. I expect to see enforcement of our city code prohibiting the use of tear gas.

There's no Trump "pivot" until we see real investigations into the government's killings and real accountability for them. As Rep Jamie Raskin notes here, someone in the White House is ordering DOJ to cover up these killings. Someone in DHS is directing this. Who? 4/

Good #Caturday morning friends!
Hopefully many humans participated in the economic protests yesterday.
The Business Cats were spot on with their suggestions.
They're also right when they say we can continue protesting these massive corporations and their corrupt, greedy C suite dwellers.

Marimar Martinez is a hero.
She was shot 5 times by ICE.
The agent told her to “do something b*tch” before opening fire.
He later bragged “5 shots, 7 holes”.
DHS tried to smear her reputation but video footage vindicated her.
Next week she will testify in Washington about ICE’s brutality.
